Tuesday, April 30, 3:28 AM Investor sentiment towards India is improving, Citi says after meeting with over 40 institutional investors. Key drivers cited were a comfortable current-account deficit, declining inflation, and fiscal health.

The Asian Development Bank and separately UBS today cut their forecasts for the country's economic growth to 6% and 6.5% respectively. Last year's 5% growth rate was the lowest in 10 years.

Monday, March 25, 8:40 AM Not joining the global rally, India's Sensex declines (0.3%) for a 7th consecutive day amid a government stalemate and a central bank which just cut rates but hinted more may not be coming.

Tuesday, March 19, 3:04 AM As expected, the Reserve Bank of India has cut its benchmark interest rate to 7.5% from 7.75%, the second reduction this year, as it looks to boost faltering economic growth. The move comes despite consumer inflation of 10.9%. "Even as the policy stance emphasizes addressing the growth risks, the headroom for further monetary easing remains quite limited," the RBI said.
